Here's the deal....
I have a 160gb hard drive external that I needed to partition then do a secure erase.... not even 15 minutes into the erase, the warning window comes up saying that I disconnected the drive! aAAAH! I'm using a new (unibody) macbook with fresh install of 10.5.5 on it..... What the stink did I do wrong? here's the portion of the log I think is pertinent: 12/21/08 7:57:47 AM Disk Utility[128] ********** 12/21/08 7:57:47 AM Disk Utility[128] Disk Utility started. 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Preparing to partition disk: “TOSHIBA MK1653GSX Media” 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Partition Scheme: GUID Partition Table 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] 2 volumes will be created 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Partition 1 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Name : “Untitled 1” 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Size : 74.5 GB 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Filesystem : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Partition 2 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Name : “Untitled 2” 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Size : 74.5 GB 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Filesystem : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] 12/21/08 7:59:38 AM Disk Utility[128] Creating partition map. 12/21/08 7:59:41 AM Disk Utility[128] Formatting disk1s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled 1. 12/21/08 7:59:45 AM kernel hfs: Initializing the journal (joffset 0x257000 sz 0x800000)... 12/21/08 7:59:47 AM fseventsd[38] log dir: /Volumes/Untitled 1/.fseventsd getting new uuid: 77A7B513-9281-49F5-A284-1EDCECB1B903 12/21/08 7:59:47 AM Disk Utility[128] Formatting disk1s3 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled 2. 12/21/08 7:59:51 AM kernel hfs: Initializing the journal (joffset 0x253000 sz 0x800000)... 12/21/08 7:59:52 AM fseventsd[38] log dir: /Volumes/Untitled 2/.fseventsd getting new uuid: 37D12D6C-C232-4D9B-8A96-D962049FA741 12/21/08 7:59:52 AM Disk Utility[128] Partition complete. 12/21/08 7:59:52 AM Disk Utility[128] 12/21/08 8:02:02 AM ntpd[26] time reset -0.330161 s 12/21/08 8:02:11 AM Disk Utility[223] ********** 12/21/08 8:02:11 AM Disk Utility[223] Disk Utility started. 12/21/08 8:02:41 AM Disk Utility[223] Preparing to zero disk : “Untitled 1” 12/21/08 8:02:41 AM Disk Utility[223] Passes : 0 12/21/08 8:03:16 AM /usr/sbin/ocspd[230] starting 12/21/08 8:09:00 AM kernel disk1s2: device/channel is not attached. 12/21/08 8:09:00 AM Disk Utility[223] Secure Erase completed successfully in 6 minutes. 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM kernel disk1: device/channel is not attached. 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM Disk Utility[223] Preparing to erase : “Untitled 1” 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM Disk Utility[223] Partition Scheme: GUID Partition Table 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM Disk Utility[223] 1 volume will be erased 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM Disk Utility[223] Name : “Untitled 1” 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM Disk Utility[223] Size : 74.5 GB 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM Disk Utility[223] Filesystem : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM kernel disk1s3: media is not present. 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM kernel D6-294C6665FFA9/live.0.indexHead] [FSLogMsgID 810779169] [FSLogMsgOrder Last] 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM mds[32] (/Volumes/Untitled 2/.Spotlight-V100/Store- V1/Stores/0796E83B-09BD-48C1-B8D6-294C6665FFA9)(Error) IndexStore in SIStoreDirytySDBChunks:Error storing dirty sdb pages: 22 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM kernel disk1s3: media is not present. 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM mds[32] (/Volumes/Untitled 2/.Spotlight-V100/Store- V1/Stores/0796E83B-09BD-48C1-B8D6-294C6665FFA9)(Error) IndexCI in CIMetaInfoSync:sync err: 22 12/21/08 8:09:01 AM kernel jnl: disk1s3: close: journal 0x441ad10, is invalid. aborting outstanding transactions 12/21/08 8:09:02 AM Disk Utility[223] Error with volume erase No such file or directory 12/21/08 8:09:02 AM Disk Utility[223] Erase complete. 12/21/08 8:09:02 AM Disk Utility[223] 12/21/08 8:09:03 AM kernel jnl: disk1s3: replay_journal: from: 3505664 to: 4136960 (joffset 0x253000) 12/21/08 8:09:03 AM fseventsd[38] event logs in /Volumes/Untitled 2/.fseventsd out of sync with volume. destroying old logs.
